The corners of the main rooms have rounded corners to the ceiling; to the Left is a bedroom with would make a perfect office with a view of Markland Ave. To the Right is the parlor/sitting room with a wood burning stove for some added warmth in the winter. The dining room is a focal point with a plate rail from the 1920’s around the room and two wall sconces for a buffet or serving table so you could host a dinner party.
